• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2015 F3-S Jack stand locations?

Looking for advice, or even better yet, pictures on where to place jack stands (front and rear) to support 2015 F3-S? Front seems pretty obvious......but still welcome input.....not as sure about the rear. Have read different posts about not using the bottom of the shock? Seems like the best spot. Thanks in advance for any input!
 
Don't mean to butt in on an F3 thread, but here's some pics to look at.

Thanks for the reply’s! Looks like I have two options for the back support.

Gwolf - not sure I would have considered the back of the frame location but I like it. Assuming the Spyder does not want to tip backward when supported there? It is getting closer to the center of the bike. But the again most of the motor is in front of that location too.

Engine and transmission is forward of that point. Very little weight on any place behind the swing arm pivot. It won't tip backward. If you have loaded saddlebags and trunk, you might need to put it farther back, but without the extra weight it is rock solid on the rear of the frame.
